Review of Behaviour Rethink Team Package

"Definitely a worthwhile investment for my entire team. This course has been a massive reminder that our job is about teaching/modeling empathy, self regulation (through example) friendships, sharing, respect and positive communication. I definitely recommend this course to be done as a team at meetings so you can brainstorm, reflect, discuss, and come up with solutions, strategies, and goals together. BRILLIANT!"
